U14 Div 1 Doora/Barefield 3-09 to St. Breckans 1-09

Round 11
of the U 14 Div 1 championship produced another closely contested game between
Doora/Barefield and St Breckans in Lisdoonvarna. The final score of 3-09 to
1-09 would suggest that Doora/Barefield won comfortably but that was not the
case. A lightning fast start to the game for the home side saw them take a 1-04
to no score lead in the first 15 mins of the game. St Breckans were well in
control at this stage, however some super work by Doora/Barefields Maurice
Nugent resulted in the raising of the green flag for the Parish. Further scores
by Keelan Butler and another super Darragh Duggan goal resulted in
Doora/Barefields leading at the break by 2 points.

The
second half resumed with further points from Cian Murphy and a cheeky lob goal
from Eoin Thynne that eventually sealed the win for Doora/BarefieldHowever, the last 10 minutes of the game
resulted in a major push from St Breckans and only for some super defending by
Peter Collins and his fellow defenders the result may have been different.

Up front, Darragh Duggan, Cian Murphy, Eoin Thynne, and Mickey Whelan
excelled. The defence led by team Captain Peter Collins were also excellent
including Jack and Tom Hannon, Darragh O Shea and Eoin Campbell. However man of
the match for Doora/Barefield had to be Maurice Nugent. His work rate around
the midfield area and his direct running through the St Breckans defence were
superb.

William Flynn pointing in the first 10 seconds. Plenty of ball was going into
the Tones forwards but Cratloe themselves scored a smart point from play by
Mike Deasy. The turning point of the game came midway through the half when
Jack Kelly converted two penalties in 90 seconds. The first for a foul on
Flynn, the second for a foul on the always troblesome Daragh Leahy. The half
time score of 2-6 to 0-2 was more than enough for the Tones as they closed out

this Group 1Round 4 game played in Éire Óg.
